I'd like to do some data logging, on a long term basis. As in I want to fly an anemometer to get hourly averages and also highs and lows during the time period. Wikipedia tells me microcontrollers have timing functions. Various kinds of memory. I/O's, etc....
Let's face it tho, I didn't know microcontroller's existed until I started hanging around here .... and now I find I need one! LOL!
Bearing in mind I'll want to run 24/7 for months on end, is there any particular device amongst the usual suspects, (Arduino, Basic Stamp, PIC, etc.), that would be more suited to my application?
Thanx for any advice ....
